AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Take This Show and Shove It

Kylara Ingress

(sung to the tune of "Take This Job and Shove It", the Johnny Paycheck version)

 

Take this show and shove it;

I ain't watchin' this no more.

My show done went and changed all the things

I was watchin' for.

You better not try to argue your case,

I've found it quite the bore –

Take this show and shove it;

I ain't watchin' this no more.

 

I've been watchin' this dang show

From the start, that's a lot.

All this time I watched the people

Drownin' in a lack of plot.

And I seen a lot of actors who

Wanted to join the fray

I'd give 'em the website I created

If I had the guts to say:

 

Take this show and shove it;

I ain't watchin' this no more.

My show done went and changed all the things

I was watchin' for.

You better not try to argue your case,

I've found it quite the bore –

Take this show and shove it;

I ain't watchin' this no more.

 

That producer, he's a regular dog,

The director, he's a fool

Gotta bunch of fancy effects,

Lord, they think they're cool.

One of these days, I'm gonna blow my top

And those ratings, they'll take a dive

I can't wait to see their faces

When I broadcast live:

 

Take this show and shove it;

I ain't watchin' this no more.

My show done went and changed all the things

I was watchin' for.

You better not try to argue your case,

I've found it quite the bore –

Take this show and shove it;

I ain't watchin' this no more.
